CTA Teachers With Heart Award:

Nomination Time

Cabot Classroom Teacher Association (CTA) has once again teamed up with Centennial Bank in Cabot to honor our district’s most outstanding educators.

The CTA is recognizing the great work of some of our best and brightest teachers with the annual “Cabot CTA Teachers with Heart Award.”

Beginning January 15, 2016 – March 2, 2016, parents, colleagues, principals, students, and members of the public can nominate Cabot teachers for this award.

Changes this year include: Fourteen teachers (seven elementary finalists Pre-K-6 and seven secondary finalists 7-12) will be selected as finalists for the “Cabot CTA Teachers with Heart Award.”

All finalists will be recognized at the end of year district meeting in May and two outstanding teachers (one elementary teacher and one secondary teacher) will be presented with the “Cabot CTA Teachers with Heart Award” and $300 cash!

Again, nominations will be accepted from January 15, 2016 to March 2, 2016.

BOX TOPS MAKE A "PAW"SITIVE DIFFERENCE AT SOUTHSIDE

We have great news! We will have the incentive program here at Southside again! It was proven success last year at Southside and we want to continue for students and parents to turn trash into cash! The cash for the Box Tops program helps with many things including new technology for Southside. We hope you will help us meet our Box Top goal this year!

Remember to collect those BOX TOPS over the summer to help your upcoming class win some cool prizes!

CABOT SCHOOLS APP!

Cabot Public Schools is proud to debut its new mobile app.

The app gives parents, students, staff and patrons direct and immediate access to school news, notifications, student info, resources and much more!

All this information is available in one place and right at your fingertips. It’s also free and just a single download away.

The free official Cabot Public Schools app is available right now in the App Store for iPhones and on Google Play for Android users.

If you have an iPhone, to get started visit the App Store and search for Cabot Public Schools or Cabot School District. Once you find it, just click on it to download the app to your phone.

If you have an Android phone, you’ll go to Google Play, and again either search Cabot Public Schools or Cabot School District and download it to your phone.

Once it’s downloaded, you’ll want to explore all the features available. It’s a great place to stay connected.

• Keep up-to-date on the district’s top news stories

• Customize your app to follow and get notifications from the district and/or school(s) of your choice

• If you’re new to the district, find your school and your student’s bus route

• Lunch menus

• Resources for students, parents, faculty and staff

• Provide feedback, suggestions or contact the superintendent

Our new Cabot Public Schools app also automatically translates all this information into more than 50 languages. All you have to do is go to the Settings Icon and select your preferred language.

If you’re not able to download the app, don’t worry. We'll still continue distributing all our information just like we have before through social media, phone calls, texts, emails, website, school announcements, and newsletters. This new app is just another tool to help us connect with you.

*We encourage you to always follow the district (Cabot Public Schools) to keep up-to-date on important information.
